Since 1979, Ceuta has held elections to its 25-seat assembly every four years.
This is historically inaccurate: the Assembly of Ceuta was created by the 1995 Statute of Autonomy, so elections to the Assembly begin in 1995, not 1979.
Full reasoning
Ceuta did not have an Assembly of Ceuta in 1979. Its current autonomous-city institutions were created by the Statute of Autonomy of Ceuta, approved in 1995.
The city’s own Statute states that the Assembly is an institutional organ of Ceuta and that the next local elections, on 28 May 1995, would be called to elect the members of the Assembly of Ceuta. That means elections to the Assembly began in 1995. Before that, Ceuta held municipal/local elections, not elections to the Assembly of Ceuta.
So the sentence is wrong because it projects the post-1995 institutional structure backward to 1979.
